Publication number: 20240113381Abstract: A battery system for powering an electric vehicle includes an array of battery cells, a venting chamber, and a cover layer arranged between the battery cell array and the venting chamber covering the array of battery cells. The cover layer is arranged to locally burst at a location of a failed battery cell of the array under influence of effluents being vented from the failed battery cell so as to enable the effluents to escape through the locally burst cover layer into the venting chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: STORM Group B.V.Inventors: Jules Joseph Maria FRINTS, Bram Thomas VAN DIGGELEN

Publication number: 20070103523Abstract: A method of operating a printer turns off a support structure heater when the printer enters standby mode. The print head is then moved away from an intermediate transfer surface supported by a support structure. Heat settings used to heat a print head are then varied to heat the print head and the support structure. Another method of operating a printer turns off a support structure heater when the printer enters standby mode and holds a print head adjacent to an intermediate transfer surface while the printer is in standby mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2005Publication date: May 10, 2007Inventors: Trevor Snyder, Amy Bartlett, Bo Wu, Randall Bridgeman, Andrew Hill, Jennifer Miyamoto, Jule Thomas, Donald Titterington, Steven Korol, David Knierim
